Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity
#163 - Life will always find its own way
The arguments Roger presented were indeed sound, but that still couldn't negate the fact that what he and Nicolas Flamel were doing was a high-risk operation.
Dumbledore didn't want Nicolas Flamel to continue.
But this time, Nicolas Flamel didn't want to heed his old friend's advice.
"I'm fine now."
After failing to persuade Roger, Dumbledore turned to Nicolas Flamel, but the old friend's response was even more decisive than Roger's.
"I think you're worrying about unnecessary things." Putting down the alchemical instruments he was using for research, he looked up at Dumbledore's tall figure with his white hair and beard.
"Death isn't the end, but another great adventure, isn't it?" Nicolas Flamel said with a chuckle, "But that's different from the death of the physical body. Once the mind is extinguished, even the afterlife—"
"No." Nicolas Flamel shook his head, interrupting Dumbledore.
"It's not because there's an afterlife that death is another great adventure."
"Dumbledore, even if everything after death is eternal silence, it's still an interesting journey."
Having lived for over six hundred years, and having already chosen death once.
Nicolas Flamel's mind wasn't as Dumbledore thought it was.
It wasn't that Dumbledore wasn't wise enough to see this; in Nicolas Flamel's view, Dumbledore was simply too concerned to think straight.
"Roger is a very interesting person; perhaps you could try to trust him more." Nicolas Flamel patted Dumbledore's forearm.
He originally wanted to pat his shoulder, but with his current height, he could only reach there.
With Nicolas Flamel's hundreds of years of experience, he could naturally see the twisted relationship between Roger and Dumbledore.
Roger had never forgotten Dumbledore's friendship, and Dumbledore was also extremely hopeful for the changes Roger would bring to the world.
But they were also wary of each other, because they both had something more important in their hearts.
Dumbledore worried that the changes Roger would bring to the world might lead to terrible consequences, while Roger worried that Dumbledore would prevent his actions for various reasons.
"Don't always worry about my life and death."
"No matter who is missing in this world, the sun will still rise as usual tomorrow."
"Whether it's wizards or Muggles, life will always find a way out."
For Dumbledore, he was not only a long-lived alchemist, but also a fuse to restrain Roger and prevent the world from going out of control.
But Nicolas Flamel felt that the world didn't need him that much.
"But...—"
Looking at the hesitant expression on Dumbledore's face, Nicolas Flamel sighed softly: "In my memory, you are a very decisive person. You don't even seem like 'Dumbledore' anymore."
"This is different." The hesitation on Dumbledore's face turned into helplessness.
"You are now also involved in Roger's research. You should also know how outrageous the things he is doing are. But what you have seen is only the tip of the iceberg."
In this world, although Professor McGonagall was the one who initially guided Roger on the path of magic, and Professor McGonagall also understood Roger's character and mind the most.
But the person who is most familiar with what magic Roger is researching is Dumbledore.
"Once Roger makes a wrong step now."
"It's not just Britain that will suffer, not just the wizards—"
Speaking of this, Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, and finally said the sentence: "All living beings may...—be completely extinct."
"...Ah?" Nicolas Flamel was stunned for a moment.
It wasn't that Dumbledore was indecisive, but that the lives of billions of creatures in the entire world were on his shoulders.
He really felt a little overwhelmed.
Grindelwald or Voldemort, even if he couldn't stop them, what would happen in the end?
What Grindelwald wanted was the supremacy of wizards, and what Voldemort wanted was just to rule the world.
At least there had to be people in the world for them to rule.
So the worst result was just that the mountain stronghold changed its king, just like the Dark Middle Ages, most people would spend a period of difficult times.
In the wizarding world, thoughts have power.
Extremes meet, and when oppression is too great, naturally 'heroes' and 'saviors' will emerge, wielding the power of fate to sweep away everything.
Therefore, after the race war, for those defeated opponents who could use complex magic, such as house-elves, wizards would brainwash them to the point of almost losing themselves before they felt at ease.
If it weren't for the fact that the goblins' power was indeed not weak, the goblins would have suffered the same fate.
But Roger was different. The things he was researching, just picking out a few, would lightly lead to the extinction of mankind.
Severely, all life would suffer.
"The specific files have been sealed by me and Roger together with the power of magic."
"This is the name of a plan Roger once had. I think you should understand after reading it."
As he said, Dumbledore's fingertips emitted a trace of magical brilliance.
Rows of letters appeared in the air.
《After detaching from the time axis in linear space-time, is it possible to make space-time itself a universe simulator?》
《A method of casting spells on the world using the collective subconscious of all beings as a medium dimension》
《Advanced application of Time Phantom Shuttle Curse, the possibility of resurrecting and cloning historical figures》
Dozens of lines of text like this flashed before Nicolas Flamel's eyes.
"I think you should understand now, right?" Dumbledore's vigilance towards Roger was not just looking for trouble, but it was really necessary.
Roger was constantly conducting various magical experiments with a thinking speed dozens of times faster than ordinary people. His achievements were far from just those on the surface.
It's just that the remaining ones either have too much risk or too much commotion, and it's not the time to use them yet.
That's why they haven't been released to the public.
Although it is only a draft now, based on Dumbledore's understanding of Roger, 'as long as a gun appears in the book, the gun will definitely fire.'
Since he met Roger, those plans of his, except for those that were eliminated because there were better alternatives, as long as he had the ability to implement them, and the time was arranged, he basically started doing them.
Strong will is Roger's advantage, and it is also the place where Roger gives him a headache.
The things Roger decides are generally really hard to dissuade.
Nicolas Flamel was silent for a while.
He also figured it out.
That's right.
He could be so ruthless to himself, using hundreds of millions of years of time to wash his mind in order to achieve immortality.
To others, he would only be more ruthless!
Although Nicolas Flamel understood Dumbledore's thoughts, his answer still hadn't changed.
"If that's the case, then I can't give up what I'm doing now even more."
